So, today I saw 3 different T-Birds (of the modern variety), a Rolls Royce Phantom, various tuner cars (not riced, but many were Subarus), and a classic Beetle cabriolet. I had a dumb situation driving in traffic today as well.

It also was rush hour when I drove out, so traffic was easy eastbound, but crazy westbound. I was in my mother's Odyssey, after bringing it to get an estimate for a gigantic paint chip on the front right quarter panel, next to the hood (estimated at over $500!!!).

On the way back, I was being squeezed in at one point, being in a colossal van didn't make it easy for me. I saw clear road up ahead, but blocked partially by a lane-splitting CUV in front of me, the road behind me was somehow being blocked by an articulated bus somehow trying to get into the turning lane I was desperately trying to get out of, so I managed to floor it out of my ever so claustrophobically tightening space, and the grunt of the engine in the van relieved my tension, as I blasted through the clear intersection.

I hate to say it, but I kind of like those T-Birds.

In NYC - today one Phantom, one Maybach 57, and I thought I saw a GT-R, but far away.

Those T-Birds. I hear you can get a similar experience driving a loaded city bus, filled with ravaging drunks.

I did see a fairly badass Wrx hatch today.

I love those modern T-Birds. I know they didn't go over very well with everyone but I really like them.

When the weather is nice here, they're everywhere, it's amazing. They also like to vary their colours.
